Well, theoretically, if you mix all colors you will get black because all light will be absorbed and no color will be reflected for you to see. White is what you see when all color is reflected and none is absorbed; you would get white if you mixed all light, but not if you mixed all paint colors. In practice, though, I've found that mixing all colors gives you something that was somewhat of a joke in a past art class of mine. The professor called it mud and it's what you get a lot when you're first learning to mix colors and overdo it. It's usually not a pretty sight, but I can't say I didn't have my fair share. : )

seriously If you don't know anything about painting or mixing colors then shut your ignorant mouths.....
...Mixing all (and I'm assuming all the colors on the color wheel, because this question is in the art section) will NOT get you white. If you mixed all the colors in equal proportions then you should make black, however if you are slightly off then most likely you will create a dark brown. If you didn't know, mixing paints or inks is subtractive color mixing.
If you are mixing colored light, which is additive color mixing, you will create white.

Brown/Black......something ugly like vomit.
Why some people are saying white is because white light contains all of the colors in the rainbow.
I assumed you were mixing paint?

if you mix two true complements - opposite each other on the color wheel (for example blue and orange) you will get a neutral grey. But if you mix all three primary colors red blue and yellow you should get brown.

Depends on whether you're mixing light or pigments.
Mixture of visible colors in light produces white. That's why sunlight (though, the sun is not quite pure white) produces a rainbow when it passes through a prism.
Mixture of pure pigments produces black or at least mud.

I think that you will get ugly dark brown color. If you are a painter you have to try yourself with different colors/pigments/lights. Perhaps you will discover something brand new and original.

supposedly all colors make white and absence of color is black but ... when painting I've come up with black or a murky dark brownish kind of color

Technically black, but if you are mixing watercolors you will most likely get a muddy brown or gray.

"White." -- Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet (The primary colours) equally mixed will ALWAYS make "white."
